We have been working on phosphoric acid plants for clients in all parts of the world. In recent years, we have been involved in 50% of the modern phosphoric acid projects around the world.

Our knowledge on existing phosphate rocks and the ability to test the quality of your raw material through a pilot test in Prayon’s facility allow us to propose the best technology for the design of your phosphoric acid plant.  We also offer our experience on low grade phosphate rock with optimal processes to value its nutrients content.
